THIS TOO SHALL PASS

hen things are bad, remember it will not always be this way. Take one day at a time. When things are good, remember it will not always be this way. Enjoy every great moment. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during the Coronavirus pandemic. Who would have thought that this virus would affect so many people in various ways? The Nashville tornado and the Coronavirus has made this spring a memorable one. I would like to thank anyone that went out after the Nashville tornado and helped affected neighborhoods and communities. Nashville Strong! Our meeting calendar has been affected by the pandemic and if you were counting on getting your pesticide points before
June 30th date, you can go online at www.onlinepestcontrol courses.com/tennessee-pest-control-ceu-courses. If you need GCSAA credits, www.gcsaa.org has some webinars as well. If you do not know how many pesticide points you need, you can go to check at https://tda.healthspace.com/clients/tda/ state/weblive.nsf/pesticides.xsp. The weather is slowly getting better, thankfully. I know preemerge, spray apps, and mowing are in full effect. Summer will be here soon and hopefully everything will be back to normal.
